There are only four cards in his Compiled Service Record file and this includes the index card, leaving but three to contain service application.

Below, what I transmitted yesterday, is the sum total of what they contain. I’m not aware if access to the Company personal descriptive files are available in Washington, D. C. at the National Archives.

If he had been married, then, there is the possibility that his widow, if not remarried, may have filed for a widow’s pension, which were first authorized in Mississippi in 1888. If she had moved, then a pension application may have been filed from the state she then resided.

I am not familiar with a document titled “Confederate Research Sources “

To my knowledge, there is no tombstone marker for him at the Jackson Greenwood Cemetery. As an ancestor, you could obtain a Veterans Administration Confederate Tombstone for him. Your SCV chapter should be able to assist you in this endeavor.
